Studio North: A Socratic exercise in building and design

Studio North’s first project was a chicken coop, a gracious pavilion that houses a flock of Rhode Island Reds, It is made with translucent panels in a wood frame finished with a stylish waddle of birch branches harvested in the surrounding woods.

 

“An architectural education is best experienced through engagement in all aspects of the building process,” says architect Keith Moskow. Based on that premise, he and Robert Linn, his partner at Moskow Linn Architects in Boston, launched Studio North, which brings something of a Socratic approach to learning the fundamentals of architecture, design, construction, and teamwork.
